We've felt for a while now that the kids could handle living in the same room. They're both great sleepers, and N hangs out in E's room quite a bit anyhow. So off to IKEA for the $149 special! This bunk set is awesome, and so so sturdy. E can practically do somersaults on the top and it doesn't squeak or even shake! With a little bit of resistance we got through the first night (tho an extra early and giggly wake up call at 4:45am), and ever since it's been smooth sailing! N's nap is a smidgen tricky. Today I went in to check on him and found he had removed the entire contents of E dresser on the floor before crawling back into bed and falling asleep like an angel...All in all though, a plus. We've claimed N's old room back as our office/guest room/school room, and it just feels like we have more space now. And E loves showing it off to anyone who might be stopping by.
What a great transition! That is the same IKEA bunk bed we had for the boys for YEARS- they just recently wanted their own twins (still in the same room) but that is a great bed. Wow, Nils is such a big boy to be in a bed already- I bet he loves being in the same room with Ella :) Great that you have the office back!
ReplyDeleteOh, that should be fun. And way to put the old man to work on the assembly of the unit!
